Beverly Whipple
Beverly Whipple is an American sexologist who is Professor Emerita at Rutgers University and a professional author. She is a co-author of the publication The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality.
Career
[edit]Following a career in nursing, much of her academic work has been concerned with the enhancement of female sexual function. In 1981, she was co-author of Frank Addiego et al., "Female ejaculation: a case study." The paper was presented in The Journal of Sex Research and includes the first published instance of the term "G-Spot".[1]
Publications
[edit]Following the book, Whipple continued to publicize her work, including a 9 min video made in 1981 Orgasmic Expulsions of Fluid in the Sexually Stimulated Female.[2] In 1984, the Journal of Sex Research described the debate surrounding female ejaculation as 'heated'.[3]
Whipple was a co-author of the paper "Who's Afraid of the G-spot?". This was a review by six scientists who looked at the available literature to investigate the phenomena known as the G-Spot. It was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine which concluded that more research was required.[4]
Her techniques include using fMRI scans to gather evidence on what is happening in the brain.[5] Her animal experiments contributed to the isolation of the vasoactive intestinal peptide[6] and the discovery that orgasms can be rerouted to the brain via the vagus nerve without using the spinal cord,[7] thus enabling females with spinal cord injury to achieve orgasm by psychological stimulation alone.[8]
